Important Safety Instructions
Important Message
Your Mega-Catch™ Mosquito Trap is designed to reduce local mosquito populations, to the point
that breeding cycles are interrupted, but it will not permanently eliminate them. Operate the Mega-
Catch™ Mosquito Trap daily for 6-8 weeks. Over this time you should notice a decline in mosquito
numbers. This means your Trap is doing its job.
Your Mega-Catch™ Mosquito Trap should be used in conjunction with other sensible control measures
designed to manage mosquito problems:
• Eliminate standing water in low spots, ditches, gutters and similar areas
• Empty receptacles that collect water (e.g. bird baths and pot plant saucers)
• Reduce breeding sites by keeping grass mown
• Mosquito netting/screens can be used to provide mosquito-free areas
• Light coloured clothing is less attractive to some mosquito species and if tightly woven, can
give some protection against biting
• DEET is considered the most effective mosquito repellent, but should not be used too heavily
